Appendix A: Understanding Fonts
Symbol Sets Asymbol set is the collection of alphabetic and numeric
characters, punctuation, and special characters available
in the font you select. Symbol sets support the require-
ments for differentlanguages or specific applications,
such as math symbols used for scientific text.
In PCL 6 emulation, a symbol set also defines which char-
acter will print for each key on the keyboard(or more spe-
cifically,for each code point). Some applications require
differentcharacters at some code points. To support multi-
ple applications and languages, your printer has 83
symbol sets for the resident PCL 6 emulation fonts.
